Diagnosis of small bowel obstruction secondary to eosinophilic enteritis using nasointestinal ileus tube and enteroscopy: a case report.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEosinophilic enteritis presenting primarily with small bowel obstruction is challenging to diagnose. This article reports a case of eosinophilic enteritis localized in the upper ileum, manifesting as low small bowel obstruction, which was confirmed by nasointestinal ileus tube combined with enteroscopy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 52-year-old female was admitted due to intermittent generalized abdominal colic. Physical examination revealed periumbilical tenderness. Abdominal CT showed segmental small bowel wall thickening, luminal stenosis with mucosal enhancement. Painless balloon enteroscopy detected localized ileitis with one stenosis. Biopsy pathology showed massive eosinophilic infiltration in the lamina propria, confirming the diagnosis of eosinophilic enteritis. The patient's symptoms improved significantly after glucocorticoid treatment, and no recurrence was observed during the 12-month follow-up period.
conclusionsThis case suggests that for patients with small bowel obstruction, eosinophilic enteritis should be considered even if the peripheral blood eosinophil count is normal. Enteroscopic biopsy is the key method for diagnosing eosinophilic enteritis, and nasointestinal ileus tube can relieve intestinal obstruction to create favorable conditions for enteroscopy.
